A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

Carefully cut off a piece of the cloth brought for the exchange of materials, and then fold it into a suitable shape to use as a filter for filtering sugarcane juice. Everyone did not pay much attention to this detail, but just thought that since Su Ling arranged it this way, they would naturally do it and would not refute it.

However, when Hu Di saw this scene, his face instantly turned into shock, and the sugar cane in his hand fell to the ground involuntarily. He widened his eyes and looked at the piece of cloth used as a filter in disbelief.

"That's cloth! How can it be wasted so easily?" Hu Di muttered to himself, his voice full of shock and confusion.

He couldn't understand why someone would treat precious resources like this, especially in this environment of scarcity. As he spoke, he reached out and wanted to take the cloth off the filter. A strong urge surged in his heart, as if to protect the cloth from any harm.

He knew that even in a large tribe like the Fierce Lion Tribe, not everyone could own a piece of cloth. Those who could wear clothes made of cloth were those who were capable. Shiling had only one piece of clothing made of cloth, and he was reluctant to wear it.

How could anyone use cloth to make a filter? How could they waste a piece of precious cloth like that?

Hu Shan, who was working with him, quickly stopped him and said, "It's cloth. But didn't I tell you just now that there is a special weaving workshop in the tribe? These cloths are ordinary cloths that have not been dyed with hot colors. There are plenty of them in the tribe. This is not a waste."

"Ah! Is that so?" Hu Di was shocked. "Could it be that what you just said is true?"

"Of course. You didn't believe it just now, did you?" Hushan asked him with his eyes wide open.

"Haha, how could that be? I believe it, how could I not believe it? Let's hurry up and get to work." Hu Di picked up the sugarcane that fell on the ground with shock and guilt, his expression looking a little funny.

After careful filtration, the next step is to make syrup. Carefully place the pottery jar filled with sugarcane juice on the makeshift earthen stove, light a blazing fire, and start boiling.

As the fire gets stronger, the sugarcane juice gradually heats up and a layer of fine foam begins to appear on the surface. These foams must be removed in time to avoid affecting the quality of the syrup. The foam is scooped out continuously with a spoon. This boiling process requires patience for two to three hours.

As time goes by, the syrup in the ceramic pot gradually changes. When the syrup takes on an attractive amber color, you can reduce the heat and allow the syrup to slowly cook until it becomes thick. Then remove from the heat. At this moment, the syrup has become extremely viscous and silky smooth.

However, the work is not over yet, and the syrup needs to be stirred continuously, a process called "sanding". Through continuous stirring, the air in the syrup is fully expelled, giving the brown sugar a unique sandy taste.

The stirring lasted about ten minutes, and the temperature of the syrup dropped from boiling hot to about fifty or sixty degrees. The syrup was poured onto the stone surface covered with paper and began to cool naturally.

At this time, the whole cave was filled with a strong sweet aroma, which was an intoxicating smell. For those orcs who rarely tasted sugar, this smell was simply an irresistible temptation, and they swallowed their saliva unconsciously.

When the brown sugar is completely solidified, it takes on a light yellow or golden color, occasionally with a hint of green; its appearance is like fine powder, occasionally mixed with some small clumps, and the overall appearance is loose and dry.

Su Ling broke off a small piece from the side and put it in her mouth. The unique sweetness of brown sugar was so sweet that she couldn't help but enjoy it, and the taste was soft and smooth.

He broke off another piece and handed it to Hu Yi's mouth, "Try it, everyone try it too."

Hearing Su Ling's words, everyone rushed forward and divided up the freshly made candy.

Hu Yi lowered his head and took the candy that was handed to him into his mouth. It was a sweetness that was completely different from sticky honey, but it was equally delicious. Compared to sticky honey, the sweetness of brown sugar was obviously lighter.

"So sweet! So fragrant! This is the first time I've eaten something so sweet." An orc said excitedly, but his voice choked up a little at the end.

"Who said it wasn't? Let's make more and bring them back to the tribe so that everyone can taste them."

"Yes, let's get to work now."

Su Ling and Hu Yi looked at each other and joined the busy team.

Hu Di bit off a small piece of the candy he was given, and then slowly savored the sweetness on his tongue, reluctant to swallow it. Finally, he carefully wrapped up the brown sugar and hid it, thinking of bringing it back for the tribesmen who were still in the Fierce Lion Tribe to taste.

After who knows how many years, he finally tasted the sweetness! At the same time, he also hopes that others can taste this taste - it is like a taste full of beautiful visions for the future! I hope everyone can get through this period, and they will definitely eat more candy in the future.

Five days passed before the brown sugar was cooked, but only a small part of the sugarcane field was used. Since there was not much time left to cook more sugar, I had to give up for the time being and wait for another opportunity to do it.

In just a few days, they successfully produced more than 1,000 kilograms of sugar. However, it was impossible to take all the sugar away at once, so everyone decided to find a safe place to hide them and bring them back together after returning to the tribe.

According to the original plan, Hu Di, Lang Ji and others were going to the Lie Lion Tribe, and the two sides would act separately. Before leaving, Hu Yi gave them some anesthetic water and of course some brown sugar.

These candies are mainly brought to the members of the Fierce Lion Tribe. We already know from Hu Di that those people do not have enough food every day. When they are hungry, eating a piece of candy can help them replenish some physical strength and blood.

The Fierce Lion Tribe was not far from the trading market. Although the trading market was initially visited by people from various tribes on their own initiative, its scale gradually expanded with subsequent development. Now, several large tribes nearby would take turns dispatching personnel to guard the venue on trading days every season to maintain order and prevent trouble.

The Fierce Lion Tribe is one of these large tribes, but in recent years, the Fierce Lion Tribe has become more powerful and has the intention of annexing several surrounding tribes.

Two days later, the group from Rising Sun City arrived at the trading market, which was located in a square surrounded by mud and stones.

There are people guarding the door. If you want to go in, you have to pay an entrance fee. If you don’t want to pay the entrance fee, then don’t even think about going in. You might as well be kicked out of this area.
